Chapter 21: The Bone-Hunting Skeleton Beast
The uncles' favorability increased by 1 or 2 points, clearly, the more they ate meat the less valuable it became. Perhaps it's getting harder to increase it as it goes on, but Xiaodao didn't care about these things.
Then he checked out the fence. It looked quite nice, surrounding the cabin and the fields that belonged to him. But the thing was only 1.5 meters high, really quite limited in its effectiveness.
Wooden Fence: Defense Level: 10.
Upgradeable: Stone Wall, requires Standard Stone: 367, Bone Material: 12, Cost: 3670 Bone Coins.
Tip: The Wooden Fence can only prevent players from climbing over it, it has no effect on NPCs and wild monsters.
Seeing the tip made Xiaodao laugh; it's just for preventing players.
After giving Xiu'Er a few instructions, he went into the inner room and lay on the bed to log off.
Logged off and returned to his real home.
Ah Shan was lying in the courtyard as if asleep, but was actually standing guard, alert at the slightest wind moves the grass, just as reliable as ever.
As Xiaodao walked out, it opened its eyes slightly and then lay down again.
Outside was completely dark, still night.
Xiaodao quickly found the soymilk and juicing machine he had bought before, tried them out, and found they were still usable.
Then he cleaned them thoroughly!
He took from his personal space the preserved Blood Spirit Grass: 1 stalk, and Clear Spirit Grass: 1 stalk.
Squeezed juice from them separately, there wasn't much juice, so he added some water.
"Hope it succeeds. There's no exact ratio for adding water, and the size of the Spirit Grass isn't exactly the same, it's too imprecise," Xiaodao muttered, putting everything into his personal space.
Then he entered the game again.
Sitting up from the wooden house's bed, he went to the table.
He took out the Fierce Beast Heart Blood, the two juices, the soymilk machine, and rechargeable batteries.
Poured them all into the soymilk machine, plugged in the batteries, and started it.
Started blending directly.
The soymilk machine whirled at high speed.
This was definitely much more even than hand blending.
Very soon it was mixed evenly, whether it was successful or not, whether needed to stop, was unknown.
Beep: Under perfect blending, the medicinal liquid fully fused. Congratulations, you've successfully concocted a Limit-Breaking Potion (Level 5), Skill, Basic Witch Medicine Acumen 30%, Experience Consumed: 30.
He hadn't had a chance to take a closer look when he received the prompt.
This made Xiaodao stop in great joy and directly check the attributes.
Limit-Breaking Potion (Level 5): 3 portions. Quality: Premium.
Tip: Quality ranges from Unqualified, Inferior, Ordinary, Good Grade, Premium, and so on! Reached Premium, effect enhanced, can be used to break through the Level 10 bottleneck, success rate 60%, Level 15 bottleneck, success rate 5%.
Three portions? And still Premium?
The prompt made Xiaodao laugh heartily.
Originally for Big Soldier, now it seems Xiu'Er has good luck.
"Xiu'Er!"
"Master brother." Xiu'Er, who was practicing shooting, ran over quickly, she was very diligent.
"Drink this."
Without any hesitation, Xiu'Er drank the Premium Limit-Breaking Potion, successfully broke through the bottleneck, and could reach Level 15.
Nice, saved two portions!
Now for Big Soldier.
Big Soldier hadn't been slacking either, eating meat when hungry according to Xiaodao's orders, and waving his spear in training at other times.
Beep: Big Soldier consumed the Premium Limit-Breaking Potion, broke through the limits, Level Cap 10, Favorability increased by 30.
"Thank you, Master," Big Soldier said excitedly.
Keep it up.
Beep: Big Soldier consumed the Premium Limit-Breaking Potion, unfortunately failed to break the limits, Level Cap 10, Favorability increased by 20.
"Master, I!"
"It's okay, there's still a chance next time."
"Boss, boss, something big has happened." The sound of rapid knocking on the door.
From the voice, it was naturally Slutty Mouth.
"What's up?" Xiaodao asked.
"Boss, I'm your most loyal little brother, you can't not open the door." Slutty Mouth wailed in grievance. Xiaodao shook his head and could only open the door.
"Boss, this is the wood I brought!" Slutty Mouth panted heavily while carrying the wood.
After putting it down, he shouted, "There's a fight outside, even the Witches have taken action!"
"Witches with who?" Xiaodao became interested, the most powerful in the Witch Bone Tribe were the Witches.
"Right at the tribe entrance, everyone above Level 10 went to see it, let's talk as we walk."
"Such a big scene! With the Totem Pole erected, those cunning Iron-toothed Rats seem dazed, rushing to their deaths..."
"Brother Dao, wait for me!"
Still got left behind by Xiaodao despite chasing hard.
In a single breath, Xiaodao reached the exit, not stopping as he ran out.
Outside was indeed a grand scene.
A large group of hunters formed a defensive circle, fighting off countless Iron-toothed Rats charging madly.
They seemed extremely seasoned, striking with their stone spears almost killing with one hit, clearly not newbie hunters.
Retreating immediately after being injured, with companions covering for them.
These Iron-toothed Rats seemed mad, rushing wildly and in overwhelming numbers.
Xiaodao took a closer look.
Iron-toothed Rat (Frenzied) Challenge Rating, Level 5, Skills: Iron Teeth.
Tip: They are influenced by the Totem Pole, losing their sanity and going mad.
Then Xiaodao looked at the Totem Pole.
The Totem Pole stood beside the Human Head Willow, like a pillar, covered in complex patterns, exuding a faint red light, which spread out in ripples.
Bloodthirsty Totem: ???
Under the Totem Pole stood an elder, his thin body and exposed skin covered with patterns, the tribe's Witch.
Around him were four tall, sturdy NPC men guarding, these four NPC men exuded an extraordinary aura, as if they had been through countless battles, each holding a long knife, no stone knives, but rather crystal-clear, jade-like bone knives.
This was a battle.
Amazing, four elite hunters who broke limits, specializing in combat, warriors who Xiaodao had only seen online, witnessing for the first time, supported by the tribe, not needing to hunt.
Xiaodao was planning to check their attributes.
Yet discovered something, looking up directly, seeing large creatures appearing, each the size of a leopard, with more than a hundred emerging.
The speed was fast?
Elite Iron-toothed Rats?
No, upon closer inspection, they were Level 15 Steel-toothed Rats.
The Witch raised his head, and several people took out Bone Powder and scattered it.
This Xiaodao was familiar with.
But afterwards, dumbfounded, the Bone Powder transformed into bones, bouncing around, not forming humanoid skeletons, but rather giant four-legged Skeleton Beasts, each Level 20.
Bone-Hunting Skeleton Beast?
"Amazing."
"I should be able to do it too." Xiaodao recalled the feeling when casting the Resurrection Skill, seems to have resonated with the bones formed by the Bone Powder, but due to his subconscious thoughts and habits, naturally formed humanoids.
At this moment, Xiaodao had a sudden inspiration, took out Bone Powder and scattered it.
White Bone Revival Skill.
